It’s been two decades since the government of Canada passed the Civil Marriage Act — an official nod to approve same-sex marriage in the country.

The act passed July 20, 2005, following the Supreme Court of Canada upholding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 2003.

Not too many news outlets carrying this story. I can't say I'd heard of Simcoe.com before - but good on them for covering it. Given the surging rise in bigotry around the globe these days, Canada becoming the 4th country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage 20 years ago yesterday is something I'm proud of

What would Jesus do? He would find a loophole in the law to help unjustly marginalized people. I love this story.

And, since he’s still trying to get into power in a weasly way, we also take this time to remind everyone thay PP voted against same-sex marriage with his gay father in the same fuckin’ room.
